When Charlotte is about to win the title by forfeit after Sasha is placed on a stretcher, Sasha gets off the stretcher and fights Charlotte.
Charlotte beats Sasha Banks in a Hell In A Cell match to win the WWE Raw Women's Championship after throwing Sasha into a table twice and hitting the Natural Selection.
On Raw Talk, Roman Reigns says he is beat up, but proud of the Raw roster and says that everyone represented the brand. He states that he has done exactly what he said he was going to do, and that as long as he holds the WWE United States Championship, it is the title on Raw, and if anyone wants it, they'll have to come and get it. Roman knows he ruffles everyone's feathers regardless of what people think of him, and says he has two shoulders. He has one strap and is looking for another, and says that he calls Rollins his "little brother" for reason as he makes it known that he is coming for the WWE Universal Championship. He says that if their paths cross, he'll get the revenge he's never gotten.
On Raw Talk, Brian Kendrick calls his Cruiserweight Championship victory the greatest day of his entire life, and insists he be called "The Brian Kendrick" again. He says he has worked hard to stay out of trouble, got the kids look up to him, and played TJ Perkins like a fiddle. When Booker T calls Kendrick out on how he won, this leads to an argument between Kendrick and Booker, with Kendrick saying he is the smartest one in the locker room. Kendrick says he has always been a troublemaker, and that he cleaned up his act to become the person that he is today. He wishes the world for TJ Perkins, but he knew Perkins was soft coming into the match and took advantage of it. He tells Booker T he could never be the same level as him on his worst day, and says he hasn't lost a step and that he is as crafty as ever as he had to work at being smarter. Booker tells Kendrick that he'll never become a Hall of Famer by begging somebody to lay down for him, and Kendrick is stunned that he thought he was being serious when he did that, insisting it was part of the plan to become Cruiserweight Champion...and it worked.
On Raw Talk, Bayley says she knew Dana Brooke would come after her shoulder and take the easy way out, but she came out on top tonight. On the subject of Charlotte saying she is the best woman in the locker room, Bayley says she believed that she herself is the best, and that if she didn't, she wouldn't be here right now. She's bummed out to be on "the outskirts of the conversation," and while she's not as strong or as athletically gifted as the other women, she is working towards it and knows that she will push to the very end. She doubted whether she would make it to the main roster, but she is here and she is proud of the Raw women's division and says the first Women's Hell In A Cell match won't be the last. But at the same time, she feels that could have been her that could have beaten Charlotte. She then tells Charlotte they've been through a whole lot, but she's ready for her and ready for the Raw Women's Championship.
Shortly after Bayley is finished, Jeri-KO show up. Bayley leaves, as does Lita. Renee Young gets put on The List for her pumpkin shirt. They brag about their Hell In A Cell victory tonight, put random people on The List, answer Jerry "The King" Lawler's phone and tell Roman Reigns to go after every other title than his while saying that the Universal Championship is the premiere title in the WWE.
Raw Talk ends with Sheamus and Cesaro arguing with each other.
in a Hell in a Cell match for the WWE United States Championship
Here it is again: these two are going at it for the United States title.
My prediction: Roman will retain.
Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens (c)
in a Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Universal Championship
Things didn't go so well last time for Seth Rollins, and now he has a rematch for the WWE Universal Championship...and this it's one-on-one with the champ himself. With Owens riding high in the WWE as he has always dreamed, will it all come crashing down on him this time around?
My prediction: Rollins will probably take the title.
Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks (c)
in a Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship
Because Charlotte doing a top rope corkscrew moonsault to the outside was a dress rehearsal, that's why. Also, two women. In Hell in a Cell. Not a cage match. Hell in a Cell. What a difference two years makes.
My prediction: Sasha will retain.
Brian Kendrick vs. T.J. Perkins (c)
for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
T.J. Perkins may be the man with infinite lives, but Brian Kendrick has no lives and no continues the way that he sees his situation. He has one last shot to make a big impact in WWE, and he must beat Perkins for the Cruiserweight title to do it...
My prediction: Kendrick will probably take the title.
Sheamus and Cesaro vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) (c)
for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships
It's the two guys who can't get along vs. The Get-Along Gang that is The New Day. This is going to be something...
My prediction: Calling it now, Sheamus and Cesaro will win the tag team titles on accident and become the next Team Hell No.
Enzo Amore and Big Cass vs. Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson)
Two of the most popular tag teams on Raw are now ready to do battle. It's the gift of gab vs. the killers of magic. Who's gonna win this one.
My prediction: Enzo and Cass will probably win this one.
Jojo interviews John Cena, who brings the United States Championship Open Challenge to a pay-per-view for the first time tonight. He tells everyone interested in the challenge that if they're not first, they're last, and he plans to start tonight with history.
Earlier today, Kevin Owens was outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. He makes fun of sports and says he doesn't follow them, but he still knows "that the Lakers suck" even though everyone still grovels over them and calls Magic Jordan "Magic Jackson" when referring to the Magic statue outside of the arena, which he is standing in front of them. He then says he will make tonight "The Kevin Owens Show" and retain the Intercontinental Championship against Ryback as he proves that he is "the King of Los Angeles."
It is announced that nobody will be allowed at ringside for the Divas Championship rematch between Nikki Bella and Charlotte.
Neville, Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler beat Rusev, Sheamus and King Barrett.

John Cena shows up to start the show proper. He goes straight to the open challenge for the WWE United States Championship...which is answered by...Zeb Colter? Zeb Colter is back, this time in a Hoveround, and announces Cena's challenger, whom he says will do more with the title than even Cena has ever had: Alberto Del Rio, who hasn't been seen in WWE for over a year.
Alberto Del Rio beats John Cena to win the WWE United States Championship!

Roman Reigns beats Bray Wyatt in a Hell In A Cell match after sending Wyatt eye-first into a kendo stick stuck in the turnbuckles and hits the Spear.
Kofi Kingston thanks the fans for all their support, and says that Xavier Woods would play a song of gratitude if he were here right now. Big E makes fun of the Los Angeles Lakers before saying the trombone is all that is left of Woods and that trombone players mourn his loss. They then plede to play drums on The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) "like a Caucasian Kamala."
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) retain the WWE Tag Team Championships against The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) after Kofi tries to trick the referee into giving The New Day a win by disqualification after making it look like Bubba Ray hit him with Xavier's trombone a la Eddie Guerrero. It doesn't work, and the Dudleys have the match won until Big E gets D-Von out of the way by using the trombone as a weapon behind the referee's back and Kofi hits Trouble in Paradise on Bubba Ray.
Charlotte retains the WWE Divas Championship against Nikki Bella after reversing a Rack Attack into a Figure Eight. Paige and Becky Lynch rush out to celebrate Charlotte's victory after the match.

Brock Lesnar beats The Undertaker in a bloody and destructive Hell In A Cell match after a low blow and an F5 on the exposed wood of a ring with its mat ripped open. After the match, 'Taker is somehow able to get up under his own power, and Brock Lesnar stumbles to the floor once on his way out. Before 'Taker can close the show, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) shows up and surround Undertaker before attacking him. After the beating, the fearsome foursome carry 'Taker to the back to end the show.
Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and Neville vs. King Barrett, Sheamus and Rusev
Now that Randy Orton is out and the original kick-off match of Dean Ambrose and Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper and Braun Strowman isn't happening, the kick-off is being replaced with a rematch of a six-man tag match from the last Raw before Hell in a Cell. Yippee.
My prediction: Ziggler, Cesaro and Neville are getting their win back.
Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker
in a Hell in a Cell match
It's finally led to this: after thirteen years, these two behemoths of wrestling history have what is advertised as their final confrontation...and it's in the Cell. How will this all end?
My prediction: 'Taker's takin' it all the way.
Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt
in a Hell in a Cell match
After several months of going back and forth, Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt will hopefully settle things once and for all inside the Cell.
My prediction: Roman will beat Bray for good.
Nikki Bella vs. Charlotte (c)
for the WWE Divas Championship
After the amazing victory by Charlotte to win the WWE Divas Championship and put Nikki Bella's record-breaking reign to an end, the real work begins as Charlotte must defend against Nikki as per the rematch clause. Will Team Bella reclaim the title, or will Charlotte keep the Divas Revolution going?
My prediction: Charlotte will retain.
Demon Kane vs. Seth Rollins (c)
for the WWE World HeavyweightChampionship
If Demon Kane loses the match, Corporate Kane is relieved of his duties as the Director of Operations.
After being sidelined by a knee injury at the hands of Seth Rollins, Kane is back...and he's not quite himself. Sometimes he's the ready-to-work, service-with-a-smile Corporate Kane...and sometimes he's the monster of fire and brimstone, Demon Kane. Corporate Kane may have forgotten what happened before he came back...but Demon Kane hasn't...and now he wants revenge...and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...
My prediction: Rollins will retain.
The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) (c)
for the WWE Tag Team Championships
After retaining the titles via disqualification at Night of Champions and at Madison Square Garden, The New Day thought they had it made...until Stephanie McMahon had them defend the tag titles yet again. Can the third time be the charm for the so-called "power of positivity," or will the Dudleys make history and hold tag team gold in WWE for the tenth time?
My prediction: The Dudleys are taking the titles for real this time.
Ryback vs. Kevin Owens (c)
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
After raking Ryback in the eyes and taking the Intercontinental title at Night of Champions, Ryback is focused on taking the title back in a rematch...
My prediction: Owens will retain.
John Cena's United States Championship Open Challenge
Looks like John Cena has a United States title match after all...and this time, the open challenge is coming to a pay-per-view.
It's Mizdow TV! Damien Mizdow's guest is The Miz, and the whole show is used as a platform for Miz to gloat and for both Miz and Mizdow to show immense respect for one another. Suddenly, Sheamus appears on the TitanTron, tells Miz to get ready to kiss his own arse goodbye, and - as a teaser trailer for the feature presentation he's about to create tonight - Brogue Kicks the cameraman.
Before he takes on "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, Bo Dallas verbally dumps on Dallas, Texas for "spreading Ebola," as well as the Dallas Cowboys' less-than-stellar performance this year. He says he will change his name to Bo Washington as he is ashamed this city shares the same name as he does, and that after tonight, he'll be "Bo-Leaving." Not long after this announcement, Mark Henry squashes Bo Dallas in seconds. After the short match, Bo Dallas says Mark Henry cheated and that he's 5-0 against Mark Henry in the game of life. Mark Henry responds by tossing Bo Dallas around again.

Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust) retain the WWE Tag Team Championships against The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso).

Nikki Bella torments her sister Brie Bella by pouring a milkshake she ordered Brie to have made for her all over her head.
Rusev beats Big Show with the Accolade.
Dean Ambrose says that when he's done with Seth Rollins tonight, he'll look so much like a zombie from The Walking Dead that he'll be this year's hottest Halloween costume.
AJ Lee retains the WWE Divas Championship against Paige with the Black Widow after Alicia Fox tosses Paige back into the ring and straight into AJ's submission finisher. After the match, Paige gets angry with Alicia Fox.
After simulataneous falls through annouce tables and a plethora of weapons being used against one another, Seth Rollins beats Dean Ambrose in a nasty Hell in a Cell Match after the surprise return of Bray Wyatt, who shows up with backwards speech, a lantern and a ghost after the arena goes dark. Wyatt demolishes Ambrose, and a spooked Rollins gets the pinfall. After the match, Rollins slowly retreats and Wyatt hits Ambrose with the Sister Abigail to end the show.
Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell Match
Dean Ambrose has the contract...and he has the match with Seth now. It's all come to this. Who will finish this?
My prediction: Hoping that Dean Ambrose wins this one.
John Cena vs. Randy Orton in a Hell in a Cell Match
But wait...there's a double main event. Randy Orton is taking the man who didn't get the contract in a Hell in a Cell match. Now these two titans clash once again...
My prediction: LOLCENAWINS
Brie Bella vs. Nikki Bella Loser must be the winner's personal assistant!
Well, this just got interesting. There's no love lost between Brie and Nikki since Nikki has turned against her sister. Now there's a catch in the match: the loser has to do her sister's bidding for 30 days!
My prediction: Pulling for Brie to win this one.
Sheamus (c) vs. The Miz for the WWE United States Championship
The Miz may not have schemed his way back to becoming Intercontinental champ, but he's now declared open season on Sheamus' United States title. Will Miz get what he wants again, or will we see a Brogue Kick to "the moneymaker?"
My prediction: Miz is taking the US title.
Big Show vs. Rusev
After Rusev conquered Mark Henry last month, Big Show - who is now Henry's "brother from another mother" - is stepping up to the plate. He's knocked Rusev out twice, but he has yet to get a clean win on Rusev. Can he do it on October 26th?
My prediction: Calling it now: Rusev will win despite being proven mortal yet again.
AJ Lee (c) vs Paige for the WWE Divas Championship
Once again, AJ Lee and Paige are duking it out for the Divas title, and it's been pretty interesting every time they've done so. But with AJ Lee being a Diva alone and Paige having a bestie in the form of Alicia Fox, how will this one turn out?
My prediction: AJ Lee will retain.
Gold & Stardust (Goldust and Stardust) (c) vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) for the WWE Tag Team Championships
Well, it just had to happen, didn't it? The Usos get another shot at getting the tag team titles back from the Dust Brothers. All of these guys can be unpredictable in the ring, so there's no telling how far this match is gonna go!
My prediction: Goldust and Stardust will probably retain the Cosmic Key.
Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Cesaro in a Two out of Three Falls match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Looks like Ziggler is in for the match of his life as WWE Intercontinental Champion: no sooner after retaining the title on the final SmackDown before Hell in a Cell against Cesaro is it announced that the two will square off again for the title on Sunday in a Two-out-of-Three Falls match. The only difference is that Ziggler's walking into virgin territory here and Cesaro is on familiar ground, especially after his amazing two-out-of-three falls match against Sami Zayn in NXT last year.
The Miz wants a match against Bray Wyatt tonight, but he's not medically clared. The Miz then takes matters into his own hands...

When the lights turn back on, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan attack Miz. All of a sudden, Kane returns for the first time in three months and attacks Harper and Rowan before choke slamming Miz!
Fandango and Summer Rae bash the fans' knowledge of salsa daning until The Great Khali and Natalya show up.
Fandango and Summer Rae beat Natalya and The Great Khali when Summer Rae somehow pins Natalya.
Big E Langston beats Dean Ambrose by count-out. Ambrose retains the WWE United States Championsip, but he gets a Big Ending after the match.
When Paul Heyman shows up for his match, he gets helped to the top of the cell.
CM Punk beats Ryback...and beats up Paul Heyman at the top of the cell!
Renee Young interviews Daniel Bryan. He plans to prove he can become WWE Champion tonight. WrestleMania 28 was at the same venue as this one, and it's where the "Yes!" chants all started.
Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego) beat The Real Americans (Antonio Cesaro and Jack Swagger)...and El Torito gets another piece of Zeb Colter!
John Cena beats Alberto Del Rio to win the WWE World Heavyweight Champioship!
The Survivor Series commercial premieres.
AJ Lee retains the WWE Divas Championship against Brie Bella.
The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) and Bob Backlund advertise WWE 2K14.
Shawn Michaels heads to the ring.
Triple H keeps sticking his nose in the Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton match. Daniel Bryan hits Triple with the double knee as he checks on Shawn Michaels and Michaels hits Bryan with the Sweet Chin Music. Randy Orton beats Daniel Bryan to win the WWE Championship!
Don't forget, all of these matches will be Hell in a Cell matches!
Curtis Axel (c) vs. Big E Langston
for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
Oh, Paul Heyman. You shouldn't have run your mouth and called Big E Langston a mediocre rookie and a modest talent from NXT. Now your lovely Curtis Axel is going to pay for it with his title.
My prediction: Big E Langston will win the title. Curtis Axel's held it too long and aside from him winning it, his reign has still been largely uneventful. Give the belt to E.
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. John Cena
for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Thanks to SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero, we now have a little bit of a bombshell: John Cena is coming back earlier than expected, and Alberto Del Rio has a match against him this month! Even worse for Del Rio, the World title is on the line! Will Cena be there, and ready for the match? How will Del Rio get out of this one? What about Damien Sandow? Stay tuned!
My prediction: Damien Sandow.
Oh, wait, the match.
John Cena. But then Damien Sandow will cash in soon after and get the title.
Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan
with "The Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels as Special Guest Referee
for the vacant WWE Championship
It's Orton/Bryan III...and it's gonna be Hell in a Cell! This time around, there will be a winner, and special guest referee "HBK" Shawn Michaels (picked in a vote via the WWE App) will make sure it's called down the middle and that there is a winner and a new WWE Champion! Will Orton's revived aggression reign supreme...or will Daniel Bryan beat the odds again?
My prediction: Hopefully Daniel Bryan will win the title for a third time...and this time for a lot longer than a day.
CM Punk vs. Ryback and Paul Heyman
The rematch from Battleground is here! After that low blow victory from Punk last month, Paul Heyman is steamed that Ryback didn't get the job done and are ready to tackle Punk again as Punk plans to give Heyman the beating of his life!
It started out as just CM Punk vs Ryback, but after a failed Beat the Clock Challenge where CM Punk beat Ryback's time in a match against Curtis Axel, Punk got to name the stipulation for his match: a 2-on-1 handicap match between him and Ryback...plus Heyman!
My prediction: Punk will somehow win. He beat Ryback once, he can do it again.
AJ Lee (c) vs. Brie Bella
for the WWE Divas Championship
Thanks to a recent victory by Brie Bella on AJ Lee, they fight each other for the Divas title. Again.
My prediction: AJ Lee will probably retain again.
Cody Rhodes and Goldust (c)
vs. The Shield (Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns)
vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso)
for the WWE Tag Team Championships
This all started with a match between The Shield and The Usos for #1 contendership to the tag team titles, where Rhodes and Goldust were guesting on commentary. Dean Ambrose would taunt the Rhodes brothers, which started a brawl between Goldust and Ambrose. The Shield's pack mentality took over and the match was thrown out, but both the Rhodes and the Usos would clean house.
We still had no #1 contenders for the tag team titles...so the powers that be put both teams in the match for a three-way tag team dance.
My prediction: Goldust and Cody will probably retain.
The Real Americans (Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro)
vs Los Matadores (Fernando and Diego)
Well, it had to happen, didn't it? As the Los Matadores have a hot streak going since their WWE debut, they have a match on pay-per-view! The match is against Zeb Colter's Real Americans. Makes sense, since Colter views them as illegal immigrants that were "sneaking across our borders" (insert finger walking motion here) and called their mascarita mascot El Torito "a man dressed as a bull against his will" after Torito rammed head-first into him the previous week.
My prediction: Los Matadores will let their actions be their words and beat the Real Americans. Wouldn't make much sense to have them lose in their PPV debut.
